visited + object OR visited + adverb of location
I visited Europe. (or I will visit Europe soon)
Is "Europe" the object or is it an adverb of location (since it answers the question "where" about visited)?
How would I explain this to students?

Will they really give you a hard time if you just say it's the object of 'visit'? Wh

Thanks Clive,
This is my first foray into grammar with my adult students (I usually teach conversation, literature, news English and the like). So this question really threw me for a loop. I was teaching adverbs at the time (using "soon" in " I will visit Europe soon") so this is how the question came up.
Your examples are great.
